Affilia seeks exceptional scholarship-ground-breaking, thought-provoking works that challenge taken-for-granted knowledges, raise new questions, generate innovative theories and methodologies, reflect feminist social work’s global diversity, and illuminate alternative pathways for social work theory, research, practice, and teaching. Affilia’s editorial board embraces its responsibility to continually trouble its own views and assumptions.Ĭontemporary feminisms are grounded in critical, intersectional analysis of lived experiences of individuals and groups located in the context of complex structures, systems, and discourses of power and privilege. Consideration of whose voices and perspectives-what identities, from which social, geographical, and theoretical locations-should be included in the forged space of Affilia is, therefore, subject to ongoing review, reexamination, and renewal. Realization of its mission to provide an alternative space necessarily shifts as the material conditions and ideas change over time.
As such, Affilia is a living record of feminist social work and inquiry.
The mission of Affilia is to give voice to the myriad ways that feminist praxis manifests in social work. In 1986, the founding editors created Affilia as a dedicated space for feminist voices, underrepresented in mainstream social work journals, and the topical and methodological challenges that these marginalized voices raised for the field and the discipline.
